Generating games of Warlords Bolt Action, Tank War, Blood Red Skies or Victory at Sea with the Combined Arms board game.

Combined Arms is a stand alone board game that also has rules for generating table top games from the moved on the board game.

We have been selecting the tan or green game pieces. Initially the grey objective/city markers are deployed by the two sides then the chosen units are deployed. Turn by turn sides alternately choose to move land, sea ir air units. After each side makes three choices the movement ends and a resolution card is flipped. Typically all generated air battles are played. then usually each side can choose one battle to play (or to return destroyed units to play).

Play continues till one side controls all five objectives or accumulates the agreed number of victory points. The game can be played exclusively as a board game. The rules have a section for integrating your miniatures rules. We have developed play where the board game is emphasized.  Each play piece on the board represents 1000 points. When a battle is generated, we set up the tabletop game and apply the results of that game to the board game. We dismiss with the maintenance of army lists.

 We have played through at least four campaigns. Limiting victory to 5 points we got campaigns to be very manageable by just two players. With multiple players kicking out manageable games of just 1000 points we imagine a long weekend would be enough time to complete a campaign. We also see people bringing their own armies and lists to complete games. Regardless of the army chosen players will join the green or tan side. We hope to see you all at Sand Wars and join in the game fun.
